80's crust punk-metal crossover pioneers Amebix recently reformed for a series of live appearances across North America and Europe in 2009. Fronted by founding members and brothers Rob Miller (aka “The Baron) on bass and lead vocals, and Chris Miller (aka Stig), they were joined by legendary punk/metal drummer Roy Mayorga (of Nausea, Soulfly, Stone Sour, etc.). During the rehearsal sessions, the band re-recorded updated versions of three of their favorite Amebix songs: Arise, Winter and Chain Reaction. There is also a bonus live version of Progress to preview their upcoming live album / DVD. The end result is Amebix played louder, tighter and more intense than you've ever heard them before. All tracks recorded and produced by Roy Mayorga, mastered by Rodney Mills. Vinyl version is also available from Profane Existence Records.
